Cancer Marker - CA 15-3 in Pune — Frequently Asked Questions
What is CA 15-3 and what does the test check for?
CA 15-3 is a protein (tumor marker) that can be found in your blood. It's produced by normal breast cells, but levels may rise when breast cancer or other cancers are present. This test helps doctors monitor breast cancer treatment progress and watch for cancer returning after treatment.
Why is the CA 15-3 important?
CA 15-3 is important for monitoring breast cancer patients during and after treatment. Rising levels may indicate that cancer is not responding to treatment or has returned. However, it's not used alone for diagnosis since levels can be normal even when cancer is present, especially in early stages.
Who should get the CA 15-3?
This test is mainly recommended for women already diagnosed with breast cancer to monitor treatment response. Your doctor may also order it if you have symptoms like breast lumps, unusual nipple discharge, or breast pain. It's rarely used for screening in healthy women without symptoms.
What do high and low values mean?
Values above 31.3 U/mL may suggest active cancer or treatment not working effectively. However, high levels can also occur with non-cancerous conditions like liver disease. Low or normal values generally indicate good treatment response or absence of active cancer, but don't completely rule out cancer presence.
Should I get other cancer markers along with CA 15-3?
Your doctor may order CA 15-3 alongside other tumor markers like CEA or CA 27.29 for better monitoring. The combination provides a more complete picture of your condition. However, imaging tests and physical exams remain more important than tumor markers alone for cancer detection and monitoring.
